Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

THE VISUAL OPTICAL AIMING HEADLAMPS AND THE LOW BEAM HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM WERE NOT ADEQUATELY SECURED TO PREVENT ADJUSTMENT AFTER MANUFACTURE. THEREFORE, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."
The risk: IMPROPER ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HEADLAMPS OR THE LOW BEAM ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM MAY RESULT IN HEADLAMP LIGHTING THAT DOES NOT FULLY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD SURFACE OR MAY INHIBIT THE ABILITY OF MOTORISTS TO SEE VEHICLES WHICH CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL MAKE SURE ALL VEHICLES WILL HAVE A PREVENTION CAP INSTALLED OVER THE LOW BEAM HORIZONTAL HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM TO PREVENT ADJUSTMENT. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 18, 2011. OWNER MAY CONTACT UD TRUCKS AT 972-756-5500.
